Story
Introducing Bubba! Bubba is 12 years old and 32 lbs, but don’t let those numbers fool you. He is full of spunk and energy! Sadly, Bubba found himself at a rural shelter after his owner passed away and is looking for a loving home to ride out his senior years. Bubba loves to go on long walks and sniff every leaf and tree he can. His new year's resolution is to lose some weight to be ready to hit the beach in the summer, so the more walks the better. He walks well on a leash and is house broken. He appears to be a bit hard of hearing, which means you can grind those coffee beans early in the morning without worrying about waking him up. At home, he loves to stare out the window and watch people and animals wander about. He will let you know when he sees something interesting! Bubba loves cuddling on the couch, chewing on bones, playing tug-o-war, and giving everyone kisses. He is super friendly and loves to just be in the same room as you while you do your thing. Interested in learning more about Bubba? Apply at www.novapetsalive.org/adopt. *Bubba is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, was given dewormer and monthly preventatives, and is microchipped.

Story
Sidney came to AFH from one of our rescue partners.  They were called by a Sheriff's Department in Florida to assist with a hoarding case involving '50 to 100' Chihuahuas.  When they arrived, there were over 200!  They were all living in a filthy mobile home surrounded by trash and feces. The trailer had no running water or electricity.  Our rescue partner said 'It was, honestly, one of the worst properties I've been on and I have been on some BAD ones.'  Thanks to our wonderful fosters we were able to rescue 8 dogs. Sidney was pregnant when she arrived to AFH. She has since had an emergency c-section on 10/30/24. Only one puppy was viable, but he is doing very well.  Although she was wary of people when she first arrived, she has really come around and has made great strides towards trusting people.  Sidney is housetrained, crate trained and leash trained. Sidney's WISDOM PANEL results:  37% Chihuahua, 3% Toy Fox Terrier, 2% Miniature Pincher, 17% Chow Chow, 4% Siberian Husky, 3% Alaskan Malamute, 2% Kai Ken, 2% Chinese Shar-Pei, 7% Papillon,3% Shih-Tzu, 3% Toy Poodle, 7% German Shepherd Dog, 2% Collie, 4% American Pit Bull Terrier, 3% American Cocker Spaniel, 1% Labrador RetrieverAccuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org December 16, 2024, 8:09 pm

Story
Introducing the delightful and dainty China, a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix who is sure to steal your heart 🐾❤️ This sweet, social, and funny pup is a bundle of energy and endless enthusiasm, her tail wagging excitedly and her big, expressive eyes shining with joy. When China first arrived, her story was a heartbreaking one - she had been severely starved and was in poor physical condition. However, despite the trauma she endured, China has shown an incredible resilience and gratitude that is truly inspiring to witness. China's zest for life is palpable in every wag of her tail and every bounce of her step. Whether she's racing around the yard, playing a spirited game of fetch, or simply lounging in a sunny spot, this girl radiates pure, unadulterated happiness. Her ability to overcome her difficult start in life and blossom into such a loving, well-adjusted companion is a testament to her strength of character and the power of a second chance. Though she may be small in stature, China's personality is larger than life. She loves to cuddle up next to her human companions, snuggling in close and showering them with gentle kisses. China also gets along wonderfully with children, cats, and other dogs, making her an ideal addition to families of all shapes and sizes. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to welcome China into their home. With her dazzling smile, affectionate nature, and endearing quirks, this Chihuahua mix is sure to bring endless joy, laughter, and unconditional love to her future forever home. She is spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of compassion - a story that is sure to capture the hearts of all who meet her ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such.

Peanut is just that a little peanut! But not the salty kind. Instead, he is super sweet! Here is what his foster mother says of little Peanut: 'Peanut is such a sweet boy. He loves other dogs. I don't have any cats so I don't know how he would be with cats but he loves everyone he meets. He is adorable when he sees himself in his reflection he wants to play. He is funny about his crate, he doesn't fuss when he's in it but he runs the other way when it's time to get in. I think he thinks it's a game. He's a total sweetheart and a very fun little dog!

Story
ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 12-14 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 3 years KNOWN WITH DOGS: Lennox is good with other dogs but mostly ignores them when inside or in the yard KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not know at this time KNOWN WITH KIDS: He was given to the shelter after a child in the family was known to pick on him - smacking and pulling - so we do not suggest Lennox for young children as he will likely show some fear of them given his past abuse. So far he has shown nothing but friendly, outgoing behavior to all he meets, but we want to set him up for success! KNOWN COMMANDS: Still learning but knows what go outside means! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: He is housebroken. He doesnt love the crate but his fosters are working on it with him. IKNOWN LIKES: He likes to give kisses, go on walks, cuddle and be cute. Lennox will do best if he gets a nice long walk daily as it seems to make him very happy! He also loves food puzzles to keep his mind challenged. Finally, he is very food motivated so this helps with ongoing training, which we always support. KNOWN DISLIKES: Children pulling on him - so he will be best with adults or kids over 10 years of age. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: This adorably guy rides really well in the car, like to take walks and play with his puzzle toys. He can be a bit barky when seeing new people or dogs or around doorbell so he may be better suited for a house vs. apartment. He loves to play in the yard but needs walks also to keep him stimulated. Lennon display some fear to other dog and some people when walking on a leash and will bark a lot. His foster is working on getting him more comfortable walking on leash in public. I He's a very cute, friendly dude who was not treated well in his previous home by a child so he deserves to have a place where he can be himself and not live in fear. He's a great little guy!!

Spunky little guy seeks fun-loving folks who like fun-loving doggies. I am very social, however I do chase cats and find bigger dogs pretty scary. I should be fine as either an only dog or with dogs around my own size. I'm fully housetrained and a total lovebug. Please let us know if you would like to meet Remi! Remi was adopted almost 5 years ago. Remi brought happiness to his family, and they learned to love him. Unfortunately, the family's circumstances changed, and they are no longer able to take care of him. They have been dealing with allergies for years without knowing that I was allergic to dogs. They think he will be better off with another family. The family says that Remi is a wonderful, healthy dog. Thank you for your interest in Remi M!
